Default Recommended tyres for OZ superleggeras

Hi all,

I ordered a set of superleggereas last week, I was told on the phone they would be 225 front and 255 rears. After scanning this board I decided to reduce the size to 245 so I had less risk of rubing on the rear.

When I called the company they told me I only had 235 ordered for the rear as this is what OZ recomend on the 18x9 rear wheel. Does anyone know if this is correct?????? Can someone tell me what OZ recommend for the rear.

Also for me to change to 245 on the rear they want an additional

There is no 235 tire that would have the correct height for the S2000 rear. You would be much better off with 245/35R18.

I have a 9.5 inch rear 3-pc wheel, and I'm running a 255 with no problems. See my sig for the full specs. S-03's are great tires wet or dry, but they are noticeably heavier than other performance tires. Eagle F1's or SP9000's in the same size are 4-5lbs LESS than the S-03's. For that kind of difference, I'll take either or the two former choices next time around.
